He came back a month ago, appeared on the chat show Miriam the night before his comeback, and has done all the live broadcasts since.

A Live stream of Georgia's RWC friendly against Japan at Gloucester on Saturday was done through a local production companies youtube channel. It's Available Here If anyone wants to watch it.

I haven't properly watched it back, but I did see most of it Live and only know that the co-commentator is Adam Balding. Also via headphones the audio set up was that I could only hear the commentator in my right ear, and Adam via the left.

Always enjoyed the bits I've seen of OSN's coverage, probably because of the nostalgic element of the likes of Rosenthal. Joost van der Westhuizen was always good value when he appeared on their coverage prior to his illness

Of course rugby coverage on the other Middle Eastern sports channel, BEIN Sports is presented by his former ITV deputy Angus Scott

Unless they're assigning a different commentator to each Home Nation it is a bit strange.

Would be surprised, perhaps it's just a way of getting everyone involved across the first weekend. Either that or Harrison has duties elsewhere for another broadcaster

Given that Simon Ward is the England stadium announcer I'm surprised he isn't at Twickenham in that role for France-Italy.

No indication of what additional commentators TV3 will use other than McNamara and McIntyre. I wonder if they might use the world feed?

Walker Cup Golf BBC2

Presenter/Reporter - Hazel Irvine

Commentary team - Peter Alliss, Ken Brown, Andrew Cotter
On-course commentary - Maureen Madill, Gary Wolstenholme

One of the sad aspects of the BBC losing the live coverage of the Open is that the Walker Cup coverage was tied in as well so this was probably the last coverage of the Walker Cup on mainstream television.
